1/32 Trumpeter P-38L backdated

[morris]

This is my first posting on this site. There are some great builds and articles here. I thought I would show my Trumpeter 1/32 scale P-38L back dated to a YP-38 (except for the boom intakes - my limited attempts at that surgery didn't work out. Thanks for looking...

That's amazing metal finish! Very well done! Is that foil you have used?

[loloskymaster]

Very well done P-38!

Welcome here, Morris!

Welcome to BM! What a marvellous[ly] polished model!

 

If that's foil, you need to divulge your application secrets.

 

Kind regards,

Beautiful job. It's hard to say whether it's a foil job or metaliser from the photos but either way, it's fantastic.

That is really impressive, great build and a fantastic finish, I've never built a model P38, I tried to build a 1/32 scale Revel P38 once and gave up, maybe it's time to give it another shot.

Wow! 

 

Again, I also want to know how you have achieved the stunning finish.

 

What a jaw dropper.

Thanks for your comments and the warm welcome - the finish is actually Aclad - I highly polished the plastic prior to applying the gloss black finish followed by Alclad chrome - hard part is actually buffing the plastic to a high sheen - it's a bit single dimensional but okay....

Beautiful finish on that model. Almost looks like one of those metal models they used to make.

[Johnny_Sokko]

Looks real nice. The metal finish is very convincing.
